With the prolieration o mobile users and their devices, within a campusor across continents, the challenges o operating and managing a

network have undamentally changed.

IT has rapidly evolved rom a world o xed to a new world o mobility

where everythingpeople, devices, machines, and applicationsare in

constant motion. IT now has to support end users with smartphones,

tablets, laptops and other wireless peripherals as well as their wired

workstations. In addition, the once languid data center has become theIT beehive with server virtualization and the promised nirvana o public

cloud services. And users are beginning to dene the services that IT

must oer as they adopt tablets and their applications, and work on

the go. They know what they need to be productive, and they expect

the network to deliver.

mobility.

This shit in the relationship between IT, operators and end users

implies that mobility is no longer just about the movement o people

and their devices. This new mobility carries a ar greater emphasis onthe portability o inormation, applications and security. The challenge

lies in deploying a network that enables people, machines and applications

to communicate seamlessly, across the 3G/4G and WLAN converged

edge, through the network core, and into the virtualized enterprise or

cloud-based data center. The complex requirements o new mobility

exceed the intelligence and automation o many networks installed

today. These networks were designed or xed users and resources,

not to provide seamless services to people, devices and machines that

are on the move.

Extreme Networks is making this new vision o mobility a reality with

networks designed or mobility. Customers deploying our technology

know who or what is using the network, what resources they arerequesting and where they are located, and can provide personalized

access to approved resources and contentwherever and whenever.

Its time to redefne mobility.

Our networks know when an application moves in the virtual data

center and can ollow it with a rich suite o network services. And they

enable granular visibility and control, so trac fows are continuous,mobile resources are more secure, and troubleshooting is a snap. With

this new level o identity awareness, IT now has the capability to deliver

an end-user experience with pervasive, high quality and uninterrupted

access to content and applications. The tangible benets may include

end-user satisaction and an increase in IT eciency, both o which

drive business agilitya top priority or CIOs today.

Today, we enable the deployment o a network that adapts to the

requirements o each individual within the enterprise, while recognizing

that each enterprise is unique. As the intelligence o public services

increases, the extensibility o an Extreme Networks inrastructure will

enable the extension o this personalization rom the edge o the mobile

network to the hosted cloud, and on into the universe o physical andvirtual machines.

Aseamlessuserexperiencepromotesworkforceproductivity.

Todays workorce is only as ecient as the network that supports it. When

end users are held back by disruptions in service, unavailable applications

or security issues, their productivity suers. New mobility requires anetwork that automatically adapts to many conditions, personalizes the

user experience, and rises to meet ever-increasing expectations.

For example, the network needs to ollow users and tune itsel or

security and trac fows based on user privileges and location. It needs

to permit hosting providers to deploy a best-in-class solution based

on open standards and avoiding single vendor lock-in. And, it needs to

oer mobile operators a way to preserve existing legacy investments

while paving the way or an inrastructure that is both cost eective and

capable o growing 1000x over the next two decades.

Thats why a rock-solid, mobility-enabled network that reaches users

no matter where they are, is an investment priority or organizations otomorrow. Meeting the networking needs o your users and customers

will enable your workorce productivity to grow.

Since our ounding 15 years and 25 million ports ago, Extreme Networks

has always been at the oreront o innovative networking. That tradition

continues today with our vision, technology, ability, and ocused

dedication to deliver an inclusive solution that spans the convergededge to the enterprise core and beyond.

We accomplish this through best-in-class Ethernet technologies;

powerul end-point awareness that optimizes the Quality o User

Experience by recognizing users, their devices and virtual machines;

and ExtremeXOS, an end-to-end modular, extensible, and always-on

operating system that adds intelligence to the network. Further, the

power o ExtremeXOS guarantees predictability rom the edge to the

cloud. Whether the network is a cost o doing business or an ongoing

expense, our platorms oer network planners the tools to build a more

fexible and cost-eective inrastructure.

This Quality o User Experience is coupled with unequaled price/

perormance, sustainability, multi-vendor interoperability, and customer

intimacy. In the same way that every network is unique to us, every

customer is also unique. Our corporate ocus is refected in this

approach to the market.

The value o the new mobility is intrinsic. For end users, it means a

consistent, intuitive experience and the productivity, eciency and

satisaction that come along with it. For CIOs, it means a platorm to

optimize, even personalize, each network connection rom access edge to

virtual server, and through that personalization oer the predictability o

a Quality User Experience. For the COO or Operations team at a hosting

provider, it creates a platorm to oer more competitive, eature-rich andvaluable services. And or mobile operators, it establishes an environment

through which to oer dierentiated and personalized services.

BestofBreedandBestinShow.While the one-stop technology vendors have served companies well

to integrate services and consistencies, they are oten slow to meet the

unique and dynamic needs o todays new mobility. By contrast, inherentoperability between vendors in networking allows companies to select

technologies and vendors that are better suited to their industry and

the way they work. In the past this may have created disruption to IT

and users, but today best-o-breed networks are oten more interoperable

with richer eatures than solutions rom the one-stop shop vendors.

Using the open-standards Ethernet architecture upon which weve

built our reputation, you can more easily and saely integrate our new

mobility-enhanced products with solutions that work best or youroperation, such as security or virtualization and mobile users, user

awareness, and network optimization. Crat the network to work or

your organization with a suite o tools and APIs so the network serves

your operationthe way you work.

You need a next-generation converged network, providing automated

virtual machine mobility and a seamless end-user experience.

And Extreme Networks is delivering upon this vision, today.
